Spent wisteria flowers fall onto a wall. They still look rather glamorous and elegant as they begin to gently fade.
Excellent and creative idea to use these faded flowers as a kind of graphic design. Truly great photo! Good thinking!

Many thanks, Truels. I took quite a few photos of the petals lying on the wall – a flint wall – but this close-up seemed to work best.

Very beautiful, with their deepening colors… and maybe a little sad.

Many thanks, gbebensee. I guess there is a little sadness in seeing the petals begin to fade.

I call it Wisteria confetti. We have a very old Wisteria which usually puts on a beautiful show each year. This year the weather was unkind to it just at the moment when it desperately needed gentle, warm and dry days. The scent of a Wisteria in full bloom is a wonderful smell.

Yes – I almost named this post Wisteria Confetti! I love Wisteria – it looks beautiful however it is grown, and the scent – as you say – is wonderful!

The blue-purple bits of it look very like a painting, and this impression is enhanced by their torn and ragged appearance – this is right on the edge of looking painterly. And what about mono … ? …

Thank you, Adrian! ‘The Edge of Painterly’: sounds like a Joanna Trollope novel about torrid goings on in a leafy village in the Shires 😉
It didn’t work in mono – a lack of detail and varying tones.

Hi, This is a lovely photograph. The wilting petals remind me of silk and taffeta and the skirts of dancers.
